Top-seller: J-League Pro Soccer Club wo Tsukurou! 7 Euro Plus – 101,022

Nintendo 3DS sales: 4,132 | Total sales: 1,310,288

 

Last week saw the release of a fairly large number of summer games in Japan.

 

Amongst the notable titles were:

#2 Kirby: Mass Attack (74,915 sold)

#5 All Kamen Rider: Rider Generation (52,575 sold)

#17 Half-Minute Hero Second (10,991 sold)

 

The top spot was grabbed by Sega’s J-League Pro Soccer Club wo Tsukurou! 7 Euro Plus on the PSP, at 101,022 copies sold. Also on PSP, Namco Bandai’s  Toriko: Gourmet Survival came in at #3 with 62,882 sold.

 

Finally, Epic Mickey, published by Nintendo, sold 27,257 copies and Fishing Resort (being localized by Xseed in North America) sold 22,365 copies. The poor 3DS spent another week in limbo, during the time between the recent price cut announcement and the actual date that it goes into effect. We’ll see the effects of the price drop next week.
